This report analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Factors driving the growth of this market include technological advancements in prefilled syringes, high prevalence of chronic diseases, presence of a large patient population base, rising adoption of self-injection devices, and implementation of needle stick legislations. In addition, initiatives undertaken by leading market players (such as Gerresheimer AG, SCHOTT AG, and Becton, Dickinson and Company) to establish production facilities in both mature and developing markets have further added to the growth prospects of this market. However, lack of safety features in prefilled syringes and product recalls are expected to limit the growth of this market in the coming years.

On the basis of material, the global Prefilled Syringes Market is divided into two broad segments, namely, glass prefilled syringes and plastic prefilled syringes. The glass prefilled syringes segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2016. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the high use of glass in manufacturing syringes owing to its nonreactive nature and heat and chemical resistance.
